Sorry if I waffle not very technically minded
I have an aol broadband internet connection I am using a BT Voyager 105 adsl modem and windows xp
for the last couple of weeks I keep getting an error message local area connection 2 a network cable is unplugged this results in the internet connection being lost
i tried reinstalling the modem, and changed the cables but this message still appears intermittently
Last night in desperation i used the aol one click solution
The thing that confuses me is that now in network areas there has appeared a direct connection which is WAN mini port (ATW)
Is this ok?
am I still connecting via the modem?
Will my phone provider charge me for this
Any help will be much appreciated
Next plan of action is the wheelie bin!
